BENEFITS OF OLIVE OIL

Olive oil is one of the most sought after natural oils for skin care. In fact olive oil has been used as an ancient remedy for skin care during the Egyptian civilization and it is still widely used today.
  • Anti-inflammatory Properties-
    There are a variety of antioxidants in olive oil including Vitamin A and E but the most potent compound is hydroxytyrosol. Hydroxytyrosol is a very rare but potent antioxidant found in olive oil that prevents free radical damage on skin cells. This compound also absorbs deeply into the skin and is suitable for all skin types. For this reason, olive oil has very potent anti-inflammatory properties and used in a variety of products
  • Anti-aging and anti-wrinkle cream due to the high content of antioxidants in olive oil makes it particularly useful.
  • Moisturizing Properties

BENEFITS OF HONEY

  • Honey can be used as a mild antiseptic. When raw honey is mixed with water, it produces hydrogen peroxide. This is due to one of the enzymes found in raw honey. Hydrogen peroxide is a mild antiseptic and can be used on cuts and abrasions.
  • Honey promotes new tissue growth. Before pasteurization, honey contains bee pollen, propolis, and other components that stimulate the growth of new skin.
  • Honey makes a great exfoliant. It contains mild alpha hydroxy acids, such as gluconic acid. These acids are very safe to use on skin and can loosen bonds between the dead skin cells, making it easier to shed this dead layer. These acids also increase elasticity, balance out oily skin, stimulate collagen production, and minimize lines and wrinkles, making you look younger. Nothing wrong with that. LOL!
  • Honey helps the skin hold moisture in. Honey contains amino acids, which help the skin retain its essential moisture. In addition, the sugar content in honey makes it an excellent humectant. So, apply a honey mask each day for moisturizing!
